Rep. Lois Capps's blog

Yesterday's NYT op-ed by Rep. Bart Stupak made misleading claims about the Stupak-Pitts Amendment. Here, Congresswoman Lois Capps (D-CA), author of the Capps Amendment, provides a reality check to his claims.

The Capps Amendment, which continues the ban on federal funding of abortion, is being widely misrepresented by opponents of health reform. Many argue my amendment departs from current law. This couldn't be further from the truth.
